0:00:21 > 0:00:23Hello and welcome to Only Connect,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27where, like a night with the Krankies, everything's up for grabs.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Two fresh teams in contention tonight
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and they are, on my right,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Mark Smith, an archivist
0:00:34 > 0:00:36who used to work in a sponge factory
0:00:36 > 0:00:41and is the second cousin of a prominent Bermudian ukulele star.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Nick Holland, a freelance copywriter
0:00:43 > 0:00:45who was once mistaken for a professional football player
0:00:45 > 0:00:47by his own brother.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50And their captain, Nick Reed,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52a charity administrator and fundraiser
0:00:52 > 0:00:54who lives in Yorkshire and has a deaf whippet.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56United by a passion
0:00:56 > 0:00:57for PG Wodehouse,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59they are the Psmiths.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Nick, I hear there's an interesting story
0:01:01 > 0:01:02behind the formation of your team.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Oh, yes, we all applied
0:01:04 > 0:01:06to your excellent organisation
0:01:06 > 0:01:08as individuals
0:01:08 > 0:01:11and were placed together by your excellent producers,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14so we think of ourselves as the One Direction of Only Connect.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Do you know, that's the first thing I thought when I saw you.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Congratulations.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21I hope you make beautiful music this evening.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23You will be facing, on my left,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Phyl Styles, a home tutor with a passion for choral singing
0:01:27 > 0:01:29and a fear of bridges.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Tom Cappleman, a software engineer
0:01:31 > 0:01:32with a degree in maths
0:01:32 > 0:01:35who lived for a year in the house in which Edmond Halley
0:01:35 > 0:01:37discovered his eponymous comet.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40And their captain, Graeme Cole,
0:01:40 > 0:01:41a computer science graduate
0:01:41 > 0:01:46who maintains a database of every Countdown episode since 1982.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47United by a weakness for words,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50they are the Verbivores.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52How are you feeling about tonight's competition?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Well, we don't have much of a strategy beyond
0:01:55 > 0:01:56try to avoid the music question,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00avoid bridges, and what's the worst that can happen?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01That sounds like an excellent strategy.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Well, you started well, Verbivores, you won the toss,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06you'll be going first. So, we're going to play Round One.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10What is the connection between four apparently random clues?
0:02:10 > 0:02:12What's the worst that can happen?
0:02:12 > 0:02:13Let's find out.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Which hieroglyph would you like?
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Horned Viper, please.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17The Horned Viper.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20OK. What is the connection between these clues?
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Here's the first.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Any idea of this one?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Next, please.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- I've not got this yet, no. - No, not at all.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Next one, please.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Georgia's an American state.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40Is it a town in Canada?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Do we know anything that leads between these places?- No.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46No. Next one, please.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Is it Mount?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50Like Mount... Is there a Mount Bass?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52It could be discovered New Zealand
0:02:52 > 0:02:54but I don't know if others tick that.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I would say, are they mountains in those countries?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Well, we've got to buzz something.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Three seconds.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Are these the highest mountains in these countries?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05They are not, so I'm going to throw
0:03:05 > 0:03:06it over to the Psmiths
0:03:06 > 0:03:07for a possible bonus point.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09We think they are as straits,
0:03:09 > 0:03:10which separate bits of a country
0:03:10 > 0:03:12from other bits of a country.
0:03:12 > 0:03:13That is absolutely right.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14They are all straits.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16They separate an island
0:03:16 > 0:03:18from the rest of the country.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Very well done. So, you get a bonus
0:03:19 > 0:03:21point and you may choose
0:03:21 > 0:03:22your own question.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26OK. What is the connection between these clues?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Here's the first.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31Taoiseach is Irish Prime Minister.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Next.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Shortest-serving in these roles.
0:03:37 > 0:03:38- Possibly.- Yeah, could be.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Do you want another?- I think maybe we should go for another.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42What do you think?
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Shall we have a bash?- Yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49Are they the shortest-serving people to hold these offices?
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Yes, they are.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Coming in after two clues, you get three points. Very well done.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You didn't need to see the last two clues.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Talk me through what we're looking at.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, John Bruton is the Taoiseach -
0:03:59 > 0:04:00was the Taoiseach.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02For how long, do you know?
0:04:02 > 0:04:03- I've no idea.- Three years.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05'94 to '97.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06The Pope must have been...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, John Paul I was 70-something days,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10so it must be less than that. Is it something like four days?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It was 12 days.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Yes, he actually died of malaria
0:04:13 > 0:04:14before his consecration.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Very sad story.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18George Canning was whom?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Primer Minister.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- In...- 1820s, something like that.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23That's absolutely right. 1827.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Yes, a Tory Prime Minister, and Paul McGann appeared as the Doctor
0:04:27 > 0:04:29in a single episode, a single
0:04:29 > 0:04:3290-minute episode of Doctor Who.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33All shortest-serving occupants.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well done.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Back to you, Verbivores, for a choice.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Eye of Horus, please.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Ah. It's the music question.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41You will be hearing the clues.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44They all have something in common. What is it?
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Here's the first.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47# Question - how do you like this knowledge that I brought?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49# Bragging on that cash that he gave you is a front
0:04:49 > 0:04:52# If you're gonna brag make sure it's your money you flaunt... #
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Next, please.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56# I've been a victim of A selfish kinda love... #
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I know this but I don't know the name of it.
0:04:58 > 0:04:59# It's time that I realise... #
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It reminding me of Michael Jackson, isn't it?
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Next, please.
0:05:03 > 0:05:08# Come gather round people wherever you roam
0:05:08 > 0:05:11# And admit that the waters around you have grown... #
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Next.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16# Read about the things that happen throughout the world... #
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- News Of The World.- Is it?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21# Don't believe in everything you see or hear... #
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- It's Jenny From The Block and News Of The World...- Three seconds.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Go on.- It's something preposition the something.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33I'm afraid that does not apply
0:05:33 > 0:05:34to all the clues.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35I'm sorry about that.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36So, Psmiths, you have the chance
0:05:36 > 0:05:38of a bonus point.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Newspapers, possibly. News Of The World, Times...
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Yeah, Independent in the first one.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Is there a newspaper connection?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45It is newspapers, you're right, Mark.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48It's actually Independent Woman Part I,
0:05:48 > 0:05:49that was the first clue,
0:05:49 > 0:05:50from Destiny's Child.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53So, Independent, the former newspaper, Man In The MIRROR,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55The TIMES They Are A-Changin'
0:05:55 > 0:05:57and News Of The World,
0:05:57 > 0:05:58a selection of current
0:05:58 > 0:06:00and former newspapers.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Twisted Flax, please.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05The Twisted Flax.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07What is the connection between these clues?
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Here's the first.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Astronomy? - INAUDIBLE SPEECH
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- It'll be something like that, yeah.- Next.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- No.- No, I don't know.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26- Yeah, I think we need another.- Next.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Next.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Almanacs.- Almanacs, yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46These are almanacs
0:06:46 > 0:06:47and the length of time
0:06:47 > 0:06:48for which they ran
0:06:48 > 0:06:49or continue to run.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They are all almanacs.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Very well done.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Yes, what's William Lilly, what's that referring to?
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Lilly's almanac.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01I mean, yes, I wonder if you know any more about it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02Is it to do with stars?
0:07:02 > 0:07:03Well, it was an interesting
0:07:03 > 0:07:04combination of facts
0:07:04 > 0:07:06and his own sort of predictions
0:07:06 > 0:07:09of what was to come. Apparently, according to my notes,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10it was popular during
0:07:10 > 0:07:12the 17th-century almanac boom,
0:07:12 > 0:07:13which sounds like a good boom.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16Very well done and back to you,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Verbivores, for the last choice of the round.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Water, please.- Water.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22OK. These are going to be picture clues.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24They all have something in common. What is it?
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Here's the first.
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Nicole Kidman.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Next, please.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Er, is that...?
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Could it be Jennifer Saunders?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It looks like her but I don't know.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Next, please.
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Is that Bruno Mars?
0:07:43 > 0:07:441985...
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Next.- Next.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Is that the year he was born?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Assuming it's years born, but I don't know what the link is.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Erm...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59OK. So, it might be that.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Three seconds.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Probably not good enough, but is it the years they were born?
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Now, have another go.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12There'll be a hidden connection.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Were they all born in Hawaii?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16They were all born in Hawaii.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17What?!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Very well found in the depths of your mind.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Yes, Nicole Kidman
0:08:24 > 0:08:25was born in Hawaii
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and has a Hawaiian name, Hokulani,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31taken from a baby elephant that was born in a zoo
0:08:31 > 0:08:33around about the same time.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Later, the elephant
0:08:34 > 0:08:35was found dead in a moat.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36So that's a nice story.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Bette Midler and Bruno Mars also
0:08:38 > 0:08:39born in Hawaii and Barack Obama
0:08:39 > 0:08:42famously, cos that was a controversy in America.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Very well done, you are off
0:08:43 > 0:08:45the blocks with one point.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46And back to you, Psmiths,
0:08:46 > 0:08:47for the last question.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48It's the Lion question.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49What is the connection
0:08:49 > 0:08:50between these clues?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Here's the first.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Next.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Is it to do with green crosses, do you think?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I don't know.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Maybe we should get another. - Let's have another. Next.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Oh, erm, rabbit... The, erm...
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Playboy, something to do with...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I really don't know. What's symbolised by bunnies? I don't know.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Green-cross bunny.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Next.- Next one.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27That's definitely got a bunny. Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29Bunnies.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Promoted by bunnies.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32Well, that's one way of putting it.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I will certainly give you the point.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36They all have rabbit mascots.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Whether the rabbits consciously promote them, I'm not quite sure.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41What are these clues referring to?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43The well-known battery company
0:09:43 > 0:09:46has a rabbit that carries on playing the drums
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- longer than its competitors. - It's OK, we can say Duracell.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51There are other excellent batteries on the market
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but that's the one with the rabbit logo.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56The soft-porn empire is Playboy with its bunny ears.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Other excellent soft-porn magazines are available.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01If only in my dressing room.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02And the second one, that is Quicky,
0:10:02 > 0:10:03the Nesquik Bunny
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- is being talked about there.- Oh! - And the first one is
0:10:06 > 0:10:07from the Tufty Club.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Do you remember that?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Tufty, the eponymous squirrel,
0:10:10 > 0:10:11but the moral of the story
0:10:11 > 0:10:14was imparted by Dr White Rabbit,
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Tufty's friend.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19So, yes, all represented by rabbits.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Very well done.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22At the end of Round One,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24the Verbivores have one point,
0:10:24 > 0:10:25the Psmiths have seven.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Onto Round Two, the sequences round.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32This time the teams must work out the hidden connection
0:10:32 > 0:10:36and then tell me what would come fourth in a sequence.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Verbivores, you'll be going first again, so please
0:10:38 > 0:10:40choose an Egyptian hieroglyph.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Eye of Horus, please.- OK, you'll be seeing the first in a sequence.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44These are picture clues.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46I want to know what sort of thing you'd expect to see
0:10:46 > 0:10:48in the fourth picture.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Here's the first.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52The Windows 10 logo, isn't it?
0:10:52 > 0:10:548 Windows logo.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Next.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Oh, is it Newfoundland?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Or is it? No, it's too far south.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04New York, is it New York?
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Next.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10OS.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13It's... It's...
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Ordnance Survey, isn't it?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20MS, NS, OS, PS - postcode.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Oh, well done.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Postscript, for example.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28The thing on the end of a letter with a...
0:11:28 > 0:11:29a picture of a letter with a thing on the end.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Would be an acceptable answer
0:11:31 > 0:11:33for two points. Very well done.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34And why's that?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36MS for Microsoft,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38NS for Nova Scotia,
0:11:38 > 0:11:40OS for Ordnance Survey, did you say?
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Yeah.- That's right, so, MS, NS, OS,
0:11:42 > 0:11:43something with a PS, could be
0:11:43 > 0:11:45a postscript, could be a person
0:11:45 > 0:11:46with those initials, couldn't it?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Phillip Schofield.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Phil Silvers, Phil Spector.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Could've been a Patrick, Patrick Swayze, Patrick Stewart, Pat Sharp.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I've got a few possible alternative answers.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Could've been a Peter, couldn't it? Peter Sellers.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Peter Sarstedt, Peter Serafinowicz, Peter Saville,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Peter Shilton, Pete Sampras, Pete Seeger,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Peter Sutcliffe, Peter Stuyvesant or Peter Stringfellow.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Or a Paul, Paul Simon, it could've been,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Paul Smith, Paul Scholes, Paul Staines, Paul Sinha.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Patti Smith.
0:12:08 > 0:12:09I never even thought of a woman.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Pauly Shore, Pamela Stephenson, Percy Sledge, Prunella Scales,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Preston Sturges, the film director,
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Pharoah Sanders.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Percy Shelley, I don't know if that would have been an acceptable.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20This is actually the initials quiz.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I don't know if you know, we've changed this series mostly,
0:12:22 > 0:12:23it's about initials.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Very well done for two points.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Psmiths, what would you like?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Two Reeds, please.- Two Reeds.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK, what would come fourth in this sequence?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Here's the first.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Don't know.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Next.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Presenters' names?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Yeah, that sounds likely. Don't know who they are.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Next.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Ed?
0:13:01 > 0:13:06I'm thinking Ed Miliband, Nicola Sturgeon and don't know.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Nick and... Nick Clegg.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Three seconds.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14With no confidence at all, Jeremy.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Is not the right answer, I'm afraid.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Verbivores, do you want to have a go for a bonus point?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I think we're going to say David.
0:13:20 > 0:13:21Is the right answer.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Oh.- And why do you say that?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Is that the first names of party leaders
0:13:25 > 0:13:28going into the last election, presumably by the number of...
0:13:28 > 0:13:30in ascending order, the number of seats they got?
0:13:30 > 0:13:31That's exactly what it is.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And the strange one, Nick and Peter,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35because it was Nick Clegg of the Liberal Democrats
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and Peter Robinson of the DUP,
0:13:37 > 0:13:38eight seats each.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40And then you've got Nicola Sturgeon of the SNP,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Ed Miliband of Labour and David Cameron
0:13:42 > 0:13:44with how many seats?
0:13:44 > 0:13:4712 more than half of however many are in the Commons.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- What a beautiful way of putting it. - 330 something.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51331 exactly
0:13:51 > 0:13:52seats by the Conservatives.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's leaders of political parties
0:13:54 > 0:13:55in the order of the number of seats
0:13:55 > 0:13:58those parties took at the 2015 general election.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59Well done, you get a bonus point
0:13:59 > 0:14:01and your chance to choose.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Water, please.- Water.
0:14:03 > 0:14:04What will be fourth in this sequence?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Here's the first.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08THEY CONFER
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Next.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13We could look at Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16I think E-G-O-T is an acronym.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Oh, E-G-O-T...?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I think each E-G-O-T is an acronym,
0:14:20 > 0:14:21which would make Tony last.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24We'll go. I think it's worth going for it, yeah.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27We think Tony.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Is the right answer. Gosh, you've warmed up!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31THEY LAUGH Why is that?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I'll defer to Tom.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Um, they're major awards in their areas,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I don't know if they're awarded every year, or...
0:14:39 > 0:14:43but I know E-G-O-T is the acronym that they're known by as a group,
0:14:43 > 0:14:45but I'm not sure why.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Well, it was coined by the actor
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Philip Michael Thomas.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Do you member him, from Miami Vice?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52He played Tubbs, and he was actor
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and singer and stage performer,
0:14:54 > 0:14:55he did these various things and
0:14:55 > 0:14:57he said it was his aim to win
0:14:57 > 0:14:58all four of these awards.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59He had a necklace with "EGOT"
0:14:59 > 0:15:01written on it cos he thought he
0:15:01 > 0:15:02was eligible to win them all.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03And how many of them did he win?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05That's right, none.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07He was once nominated for a Golden Globe,
0:15:07 > 0:15:09that's about as close as he got, but...
0:15:09 > 0:15:11EGOT. Some people have won them all.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Can you name anyone who's won them all?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Barbra Streisand?
0:15:15 > 0:15:16Yes, Barbra Streisand is an example,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Whoopi Goldberg's another one,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20John Gielgud, Harry Belafonte.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22A few people have but not, sadly,
0:15:22 > 0:15:23Philip Michael Thomas.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Well done, well spotted - and back
0:15:25 > 0:15:26to you, Psmiths, for a choice.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Lion, please.- Lion.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30OK, what will come fourth in this sequence?
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Here's the first.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35THEY CONFER
0:15:36 > 0:15:39He only once scored a goal, in which Liverpool lost.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- I don't know about...- Mm.- Next.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45"Twice. EG: Thierry Henry."
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Mmm...- How many times has he been top goal scorer?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Erm...
0:15:52 > 0:15:53Next.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, it was....
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Must have been Golden Boot, wasn't it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01THEY TALK INDISTINCTLY
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Four times.- So, maybe four times, Cristiano...- Yeah.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Four times, Cristiano Ronaldo.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Is the right answer.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And why is that? What is the sequence?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Is it the number of times they have won
0:16:15 > 0:16:18either the Golden Boot or the Ballon d'Or?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's the Soulier d'Or,
0:16:20 > 0:16:21it's European Golden Shoe,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23or Golden Boot, that's right,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25number of goals scored in Europe
0:16:25 > 0:16:27in a particular season.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28This is at time of recording,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30I'm reliably informed that
0:16:30 > 0:16:31one of these people
0:16:31 > 0:16:32may win it for 2016.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33I hope it's Ian Rush.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm not a big football follower,
0:16:35 > 0:16:36but at time of recording,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Cristiano Ronaldo has won four times,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42so he would be the fourth in the sequence. Well done.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Verbivores, the last choice for you.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Twisted Flax, please. - The Twisted Flax.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48What would be the fourth in this sequence?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Here's the first.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52THEY WHISPER INDISTINCTLY
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Next.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's going to be... Yeah, erm....
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, Churchill was Home Secretary way before then, wasn't he?
0:17:04 > 0:17:05Could be...
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Do we need the next person?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10He could be the same person, I mean, I'm guessing,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- like, it's Churchill, Chamberlain. Do we need one more?- Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15- OK.- Next.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22- Churchill?- Yes, '40 to '45. - Was he '45, was he? Yeah?
0:17:23 > 0:17:271940 to '45, um, Prime Minister.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Is the right answer.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29And why is that?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32We think it's posts held by Winston Churchill.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35That's right, it's the Cabinet positions of Winston Churchill.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36What accounts for this gap,
0:17:36 > 0:17:381922-1924?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40He took a gap year? I don't know!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Well in a way, rather sadly,
0:17:42 > 0:17:44in 1922, he lost his seat,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46which was Oldham.
0:17:46 > 0:17:47He'd had severe appendicitis
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and was not really visible to anybody
0:17:49 > 0:17:51until a couple of days before the election,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and then he campaigned in a wheelchair
0:17:53 > 0:17:54and people didn't like it.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56He lost his seat and there's this rather poignant quote
0:17:56 > 0:17:59where he said he was, "Without an office, without a seat,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01"without a party and even without an appendix."
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Aw!- Rather sad.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Winston Churchill though,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Prime Minister, 1940 to '45. Well done.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Back to you, then,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11for the final question, the Horned Viper.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13What will be the fourth in this sequence?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Here's the first.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17"Elder daughter improvises music."
0:18:19 > 0:18:20HE SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Next.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27"Mother and a younger daughter." Is it...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Sounds like a scene from a language textbook.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33Yeah.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Want to get the fourth one?- Next.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39- Oh!- Oh, it's from the Simpsons,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42they all rush into the sitting room together
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- and sit down on the couch.- Erm...
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Or he's writing out lines on the blackboard.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Son is writing out lines on the blackboard.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Son is writing out lines on the blackboard.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53You're absolutely right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55What is this sequence?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- It is the opening credits of a Simpsons.- Yes, it is.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01The last one in this sequence would be Bart Simpson
0:19:01 > 0:19:04writing lines on a school blackboard. Well done.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06That means at the end of Round Two,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08the Verbivores are up to nine points,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10the Psmiths have 11.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Time now for our hideous Connecting Wall,
0:19:15 > 0:19:18in which 16 clues are all jumbled up and the teams have to sort them
0:19:18 > 0:19:20into four connected groups of four.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Your turn to go first this time, Psmiths,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25so please choose Lion or Water.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Water, please.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29OK, you have two and half minutes to sort the Water wall
0:19:29 > 0:19:33into four connected groups, starting now.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Foreign Secretaries.- Oh, yes. Carrington.- Major...
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- BUZZ - So, we missed out Major.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Miss out Cook. - BUZZ
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Miss out Hammond.
0:19:49 > 0:19:50BUZZ
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- And miss out straw.- Straw.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57BUZZ
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- OK. Erm....- Miss out Carrington.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Yeah, well done.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Um...
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Towns?- Chadwell Heath...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Chadwell Heath... Is it a Tube station on Central line?
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Oh, no, these are
0:20:13 > 0:20:15football training grounds.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, well done.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Three strikes and you're out now.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21You've got plenty of time.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Last Hurrah, last Post, last Word...
0:20:24 > 0:20:25Last minute.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27What else does that give us?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28Malta, Mach...
0:20:28 > 0:20:29These are things symbolised
0:20:29 > 0:20:30- by the letter M.- 1,000.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Yeah, M thousand.
0:20:32 > 0:20:33M in Roman numerals.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36OK, let's go with that.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39You've solved the wall. Very well and calmly done.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41So that's four points immediately for the groups you found.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44There are four points available for the connections,
0:20:44 > 0:20:46and bonus points if you get it all right.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50So the first blue group - Major, Hammond, Cook, Straw.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Recent Foreign Secretaries.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- Recent, did you say?- Yes.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Well, they've certainly all been Foreign Secretary, so have a point.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Recent by my standards, yes.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01What about the green group - Carrington, Cobham,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Chadwell Heath, Melwood?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06These are the training grounds of Premiership football teams.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's another football question.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10You know what I'm going to ask, don't you?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Is Carrington Manchester United?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Yes.- Chadwell Heath is West Ham.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Yes, it is.- Melwood, Liverpool.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Very good.- Cobham, Chelsea.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Excellent.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22They are all Premier League football training grounds.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25What about the next group - Malta, Motorway, Mach,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28or "mash" or "meck", and 1,000?
0:21:28 > 0:21:30They're all symbolised by the letter M.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32They can be represented by the letter M.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35And the last turquoise group, starting "Post", what's that?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It is literally the last.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It is. Last group, last post, last hurrah, last-minute, last word.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So, on top of your four group points,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47you get four connecting points, and two for getting it all right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48That is the maximum of ten.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Let's bring in the Verbivores now, give them a new Connecting Wall.
0:21:51 > 0:21:5316 different clues but the same principle -
0:21:53 > 0:21:56they need sorting into four connected groups of four.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Welcome in, Verbivores.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01You're going to be getting the Lion wall, the Water's been taken.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04You have 2.5 minutes to solve it, starting now.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Guantanamo Bay, Hudson Bay...
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Hudson Bay, yeah.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Bantry Bay and San Quentin. Try that.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- BUZZ - No... Carson Bay?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Or have I made that up?
0:22:23 > 0:22:26What's False? What can that be?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28It could be decree absolute or something.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30January, March, October.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, yes, nice one!
0:22:32 > 0:22:33So, we've got December,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35so let's try that one.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- BUZZ - No. Have we got June?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40We've got June.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46OK, so...
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm sure you're right with bays.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Will we try some others?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54What was it? Hudson Bay,
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Bantry Bay...- Guantanamo.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Ha Long Bay, is that one?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- BUZZ - No.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That could be a bay, couldn't it?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Ha Long Bay.- We tried Ha Long Bay.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Rikers?- Rikers Bay.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09BUZZ
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Yeah, we don't really know, do we?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12So what else have we got?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Lurch, False...
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Carson, is it Carson the jockey?
0:23:22 > 0:23:26Is it the former presenter of that American chat show?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Attica, is that a part of Greece? - Yes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:33Pat Jennings, the goalkeeper,
0:23:33 > 0:23:34or there's the guy who won
0:23:34 > 0:23:36all that money on Jeopardy.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38You've got a minute left.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39So, what's...?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I keep looking at False.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43What could that...?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47This is going to be False something,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49like a false friend,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51or something like that.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59- 30 seconds.- I think we might as well
0:23:59 > 0:24:00try for these bays.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Hudson Bay, Guantanamo Bay,
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Bantry Bay.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06That one?
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- BUZZ - We tried that one, didn't we?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10False...
0:24:10 > 0:24:11BUZZ
0:24:11 > 0:24:13BUZZ
0:24:15 > 0:24:16That's only going to be a bay.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Hudson might be something else.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Ten seconds now.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- San Quentin?- San Quentin. Nah.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24BUZZ
0:24:26 > 0:24:28And you're out of time.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30But you found a group, so a point immediately for that,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33and I'll give you another if you can tell me what connects
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Decree, Junta, Janitor, Octopus.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38They begin with an abbreviation of a month.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39That's absolutely right.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Dec, Jun, Jan, Oct hidden at the beginning.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44And you can still get points for the connections in the groups
0:24:44 > 0:24:46you didn't find, so let's resolve the wall.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50There we go. Carson, Jennings, Lurch, Hudson.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Are they characters in Downton Abbey?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54I'm afraid they are not.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55One of them is. "Oh, Carson."
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Is it going to be butlers?
0:24:57 > 0:24:59They're all butlers, but too late, I'm afraid.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Yes, Jennings is the butler in Gosford Park, played by Alan Bates.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Lurch, who's Lurch?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Oh, it's the Addams Family, isn't it?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08In the Addams Family, exactly.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And Hudson is actually Upstairs, Downstairs, not Downton Abbey.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13All butlers.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16And the pink group, False, Bantry, Ha Long, Guantanamo.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18- It's got to be bays. - Yeah, they must be the bays.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Those are the bays. You really struggled with False.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- It's near Cape Town.- Yes, that's the only word I thought couldn't
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- have been a bay, False Bay, but... - Yes, False Bay in South Africa,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'm afraid it is.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32And the last group - Attica, Rikers, San Quentin, Marion.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Are they prisons?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36They are American prisons, that's absolutely right.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39So one point for the group that you found and three for the connections.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41That is a total of four points.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Let's have a look at the scores going into the final round.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49The Verbivores have 13 points, the Psmiths have 21.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00We've taken the vowels out
0:26:00 > 0:26:02of well-known names, phrases and sayings.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05We've squidged up the consonants and you must tell me
0:26:05 > 0:26:06what are the disguised clues.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I'm going to tell you the connections
